Chapter 1: No Idols at all, but my djungle boom boom!

  Wolf g.u.i.t.a.r gang O.T. in a concert in Northern Germany

When Wahwah records asked me to write about my music, I made the mistake to write a book. After a year I was already up to about 60 pages and more than 25 chapters, as I noticed that no one might print this book. They did not ask me for a book, just for more unreleased photos and some words about my music.

My telephone rings all the time, I don't know who it is, I did not look my email since a month. I was working at the bonus CD, what will come along with the reprint of my ZIPPO ZETTERLINK IN THE POOR SUN LP. - if not sold out here.

And while I am writing this, I let my tiny computer play the bonus CD “Катюша カチューシャ red point on G-spot”, and the more I play it, the more I like it, and I know that this work was done right. Wahwah said, it comes along with the LP, CATALOGUE NUMBER LPS151, as a real Bonus.

There is still an amount of first authentic psychedelic music, the thing I started in after school concerts. On my reprint LP you see some chinese signs. Without having idols you get on faster to develop very special music. I only took things I never heard before to make it recognize to listeners. When all of my fellow musicians hunting for success, by copying their idols, I was blamed by them doing my own speedy things. When my fellow musicians try to copy what they heard, I put a mix of language into my songs. So I claim that I am – maybe still – the first one who put Chinese and Japanese into my songs. But every idea flashes back, so the stone roses tried some Japanese decades later.

For me it is very important, if a composition linked with words, words should have everything you can put into it.

No one wants to know what kind of quarrels I have to stand through with all my associate people around me for the survival of art works. There was not time enough for a careful look at my performance photos and the mass of drawings I did. It is no space left for working, so I made this artwork of crowded mass, my black matter, this black matter I have to rediscover in flow with the maybe coming works to publish.

I started to build my first guitar – from a cigar box with four nylon strings. Equipped with some strings, and a fretboard with wild shape .... Slowly my father recognized that his son tried to sing something out of a strange fantasy with a pling pling from his self-build guitar. Maybe he felt pity, but not too much, because one day he asked me, that he saw a guitar in a music shop in Stade. That is a town smaller than Hamburg.

I know, many people did this, and others had a real guitar from their first beginning. One was Bo Diddeley. His self constructed rectangle guitar was fascinating, and much more intriguing where his rhythms. I was so fond of his rhythm in not fade away (what Buddy Holly took after a first Bo Diddely recording) that I got inspired to play a similar rhythm in my German song Ein Schöner Tag. A rhythm, a shape, but no Idols. Visiting Willie Dixon, Howling Wolf, Andres Segovia, Oskar Kokoschka- they are so different and no Idols for me. But great teachers. For me more like a scientist would say, research people. For me it is so great to know these people lively and to see their habits are true and not arrogant at all. And - there is B.B.King, who has my record "Zippo Zetterlink in the poor sun" and wrote a letter for thanks. Canned Heat took my record home and I got some tour experience with them. Bob Hite, a very friendy bear, drove this band on. But what I did with my guitar I always was teaching me myself, inventing the things I need.

... and next came out, my fingers were definitely too small for this guitar's normal fretboard.

So I invented the two finger style and played my jungle boom boom, sometimes on the low strings, then on the high strings.

I got a first small chord book, and by daily grips pressing the steel strings on my fingertips there grew callouses.

The barre problem I first solved when I had the idea to put one strong finger above the weak one, pressing both, later made me different chord settings I still can use today.

If I play I need the free feel, this can be noticed by many of the audience. When the drummers won't catch up with my time change, they where not able to change the foot machine: from 4/4 to 5/4 and after 8 bars back to 4/4, they did not like that at all, so this is hard to do. You think you are in the groove and what happened now? Your right foot is not on the one anymore! It is your High Hat with your left foot on the one, with your 4/8 beat. You try to follow, but when you change to the one on the bass drum – it is too late, because now the beat changed again, so here my advice: just stay in your rhythm and you get the one for the bass drum after a few bars again. This is psychedelic, and you can try it with my recording 'Zippo Zetterlink in the poor sun' for 27 Minutes. As well on 'Electric light machine take over – not make kaputt', so first acid against contract players who smoothed what they think they heard out of psychedelic to make quantity audible ready for marketing the masses. That time the radio was open to everything. They played my record several times, but then came new regulations, money pushed to reconstruct the pyramid, radio dropped psychedelic roots. If plastic guitar on 'I deal' or silent concert at the art school where 'cool fish' with colorful outfit in the time Wernher von Braun team sends NASA Saturn rockets – he said 'destination Mars', not Moon, my 'Kind im Weltraum' was already composed years ahead. Unlucky to choose the wrong musicians, my band I had in Cologne, the producer didn't fulfill my contract. All I got from Uwe N. were some shabby answers – and zero support. So my 'child in space' was not allowed to come out. The Eagle was landing and sending this prototype to Hawkwind, and all psychedelic they converted into one industrial copy.
